SchoolhouseTeachers.com ~ Schoolhouse Review


A couple of months ago I read about some excellent printable planners at SchoolhouseTeachers.com. But, I was too cheap to pay for a membership. THEN I got the opportunity to review the website for the Schoolhouse Review Crew. Yippee!

And you know what I did first thing? I went and printed off all of the pages that would be useful for me in a planner. There were so many different planner pages from which to choose, and I was able to build a planner that will be perfect for me during this school year.

Once I was done with this task, that only took a few minutes, I started browsing the site. Can I just tell you that I STILL haven't tapped into all this website has to offer.

The first thing I noticed were the full lesson plans offered by some very respectable teachers. For instance, in Geography, Knowledge Quest offers weekly lesson plans with access to printable maps. How about a full-fledged home economics course? Malia Russell of Homemaking911.com offers you daily and weekly lessons. Terrified of teaching your high school student Chemistry? Then let Joey Hajda of friendlychemistry.com do it for you.

And I could go on and on and on about all of the great lessons that are available.

There is still time to do a fun unit study on the Summer Olympics. No need to scour the internet looking for lapbooks or unit studies or literature lists or worksheets or craft ideas ... just go to the SchoolhouseDailies link on the website and let SchoolhouseTeachers.com give you your daily lesson plans. There are LOTS of daily lessons and activities under that tab, including "This Day in History".
 
Additionally you have access to The Old Schoolhouse Magazine, including back issues, and lots of free e-books. And, did I mention the free build-your-own planner pages? Oh yeah, I did.

Here's something I found useful. Under the SchoolhouseLibrary link, there is a tab called Copybooks. I love for my kids to do copywork, but sometimes I don't have, or make, the time to find good subject based work. There are some great copybooks available for download, with topics including money, mothers, fathers, and poems.

ABCya

Eli's reading resource teacher shared a website with me yesterday that I would like to pass along. It's called ABCya . There are separate educational sections with fantastic games for ages kindergarten through 5th grade. I browsed the 2nd grade level, and it includes age-appropriate games about Letters, Numbers, Shapes, Geometry, Patterns, Mouse Manipulation, Art and Holiday games. There are lots and lots of fun and creative games for children to play. They are fun, but oh, so educational. Eli's favorite, in his short time playing it, was Create a Car . A lot of the games also have Apps available for purchase (99 cents for most of them) for the iPad and iPhone. I have been looking for another free website for games similar to Starfall , for some time. I think I have found it. I can feel confident having Eli and Brynne play these games.

Cells ~ It's What's for Dinner

Dawson made edible cells on Friday. He made an animal cell pizza ... and a plant cell chocolate chip cookie ... He reviewed what he's learned about cells the past two weeks, and I had dinner made by someone else. Win, win!! I am linking up at Science Sunday at Adventures in Mommydom.

Last Child in the Woods ~ Chapters 1-4

Welcome to our book study of Last Child in the Woods by Richard Louv. To be honest, I have no idea what this "study" is going to look like. I imagine that when we get together I will post about all of the things that caught my eye. And I would ask that you leave a comment, or a link to your own blog post in the comment, about what caught yours. This isn't anything formal, ladies, just a place to talk about what we have read. I have now read the first four chapters of Last Child in the Woods two times. It is just so good. Several things have specifically hit me deep, but in general I just realized that "times, they are a changin'." Things aren't the way they were when we were kids. Chapter 1. Gifts of Nature ~ "When I see birches bend to left and right ... I like to think some boy's been swinging them." ~ Robert Frost What is your definition of nature? What feelings, visions, senses does it conjure up? For me, it's not a
